Talented youngster Ryan Sessegnon has been in thrilling form
for Fulham this seasons as the Cottagers attempt to win promotion back to the
Premier League.

Sessegnon who has been in glittering form continued his goalscoring
streak over the weekend against Wolves in the Championship. He nabbed his 13th
goal of the league campaign, using his pace to capitalise on a snoozing Wolves
defence and prod home a parried Aleksandar Mitrovic shot.

It’s a goal which has a very familiar feel, with the
youngster showing excellent anticipation and movement in the penalty area,
always on his toes and ready to pounce on errors.

This makes the left-sided star, who is looking at home in a
role on the wing rather than at full-back, a constant threat for both
right-backs and central defenders, should they lose concentration.

And his ability to strike at the right moment sees Sessegnon
with the second best shot conversion in the Championship, out of the players
who have scored a minimum 10 goals.

Not only this, Sessegnon is also Fulham’s top scorer, and
he's scored his 13 goals from just 16 shots on target.

And now, having scored nine goals since the turn of the
year, no other player in English football has more league goals than him,
although Sergio Aguero, the Manchester City forward, also has nine.

It’s extraordinary for a 17-year-old and shows he’s
justifying the hype which is surrounding him right now. A lot of comparisons
has been drawn between him and Gareth Bale. Sessegnon just like Bale was a left
back before he was converted to a left winger this season.

And while supporters in west London are thrilled by his
performances there may be a creeping concern about how long they will hold onto
the England youth international, with Manchester United, Tottenham, and Liverpool
all linked with his signature.

But for the moment, his future is better spent with Fulham
where he is adapting brilliantly to his role in attack.
